22 Jun Top 10 of the most unusual jobs around the world

Ellevest CEO, Sallie Krawcheck asserts that the quest to achieve career success at large corporations and big-name firms is no longer the norm, as smaller firms and start-ups currently lead the way. A former business executive, Krawcheck left the comfort of corporate America and Wall Street to seek the volatile waters of entrepreneurship.

The above depicts that the lure of the 9-to-5 is gradually giving way to exclusive, unique professions, occupations, gigs, or whatever you would like to call it. Co-working, freelancing, itinerant travelling, etc., the opportunities for generating exciting and lucrative income keeps expanding.

All that might be required could be getting a resume of what you are good at. Every once in a while, I do find services like Craftresumes to be helpful.

In this article, I picked out a list of the 10 most unusual jobs in the world. Some show ingenuity; others are simply just naughty. Take inspiration from these, and begin on something that really appeals to you.

Producers of the award-winning TV sitcom, The Big Bang Theory, got this one right on the number.

Naturist cleaners

Now workers can take the heat out of domestic cleaning, by carrying out cleaning with clothes off! An emerging profession, Naturist or Nude workers take on the responsibility of handling clients’ numerous duties; however, with one condition: duties must be carried with the hireling’s clothes off!

Nude workers are paid according to the different stages of undress. A completely nude worker would attract more hourly rates compared to a worker who is half-nude. Some clients do identify themselves as ‘naturists’, and thus like to move around their homes without clothes on. So, they are hoping they would be able to hire (and pay) workers who feel comfortable in their natural skin.

Naturist workers earn between $35 to $45 an hour. You can compare that to the minimum wage at Starbucks.

Professional Cuddlers

Clinical trials participants earn according to the projects involved, and severity of the trials. Some have earned $200 to try some newly created drugs, and note their side effects.

Dog whisperer

Migrating to the United States, he began work as a limousine driver, where he met Jada Pinkett Smith.
